Chapter 101 A Devastating Defeat

"Big Teddy, I remember when New York School used to play friendly basketball matches against us before; they could never win against our school. What happened today?" Eric asked.

"Eric, that captain on the other side, Fred, is a recent addition to New York School. He is simply too formidable. We're losing mainly because of him, and there are a few other talented new faces as well," Big Teddy said.

Pausing for a moment, Big Teddy clenched his teeth and angrily continued, "Furthermore, this Fred is simply too arrogant. Every time they win, he flips us off and has a contemptuous expression on his face."

Eric nodded, "I saw that too. Although he has some basketball skills, his attitude is too arrogant and disrespectful towards others."

The second half of the game quickly began.

Both sides continued to play with no surprises, and the game remained completely one-sided.

After the second half, the final score was fixed at 78:18.

For New York University, it was undoubtedly a shameful score!

After the game ended, the entire arena fell into silence, and the New York University team members hung their heads low.

Around a thousand spectators had gathered, and now they were all stunned.

Fred held the ball with one hand and smiled, saying, "I'm not targeting any specific player on your team; I just want to say that all the New York University students here are trash!"

"Hahaha!" The teammates behind Fred burst into laughter, with a smug expression on their faces.

Their triumphant laughter echoed throughout the basketball court.

Clearly, they had already achieved great success.

The New York University students who were watching around clenched their fists, filled with anger.

At this moment, Fred continued to smile and said, "Do you remember the bet we made before the game started? The players from the losing side have to shout three times that 'we are New York University and we are trash!' Now you can shout!"

Fred pointed towards Big Teddy, saying, "That includes the players who were just substituted off; they have to shout too."

"You all! You all!"

The New York University players glared at Fred with anger-filled eyes. The New York University students also appeared furious.

Big Teddy, especially, stood up in anger and rushed towards Fred.

"Fred, you think you can humiliate us like this? Dream on!"

Big Teddy clenched his fists, looking ready to punch Fred.

"What? Want to fight? Don't think this is your territory. I won't be afraid of you! Let me tell you, among the spectators here, there is someone from New York School who has recognized your basketball skills. You better show some respect, or else..."

"Our people are filming, and when the video of them hitting others is released, it will only show that you can't handle losing and you resort to violence. Wouldn't that be embarrassing? Haha!" Fred said triumphantly.

The teammates behind Fred also chimed in, "That's right! Hitting someone because you lost the game? What a bunch of losers. If you have the skills, then win on the field!"

"Big Teddy! Someone is secretly filming, don't take action!"

Several of Big Teddy's teammates quickly restrained him.

Eric, at this moment, also walked up and headed towards the field.

"Wow! Isn't that the handsome guy driving the Lamborghini? It's him! I heard his name is Eric!"

"Yes, yes! That's him. I heard he's called Eric!"

After Eric stepped onto the field, many of the New York University students watching recognized him.

"He must have a strong background. Could he be standing up for our school's team?"

"If he can stand up for us, that would be great!"

The onlookers showed anticipation.

"Eric!"

Eric nodded and then patted Big Teddy's shoulder.

"Big Teddy, calm down. If we act impulsively now, even if he takes a punch, he'll be fine."

"But Eric, they humiliated us like this. We..." Big Teddy clenched his teeth, feeling very resentful.

"As a member of New York University, I can't tolerate others trampling on our school either," Eric said with narrowed eyes.

After speaking, Eric turned directly and walked up to the opposing team captain, Fred.

Eric seemed small in front of him, as Fred naturally exuded a powerful aura due to his height advantage.

However, Eric was neither humble nor overwhelmed by his aura in the slightest.

"Who the hell are you?" Fred looked down on Eric.

"Who I am doesn't matter. I just want to tell you that we did lose today, but please also show some respect for your opponents," Eric remained calm.

"You want me to show respect? Then defeat us with your strength!" Fred raised his middle finger at Eric, his face full of arrogance.

Seeing Fred flipping him off, Eric's expression grew even darker.

"Guys, New York University just lost and isn't willing to fulfill the wager. Let's go!"

Fred waved his hand, and, accompanied by the ten-plus players he brought, walked out with their heads held high, as if they had just won a great victory.

However, the New York University students who were watching angrily blocked their way, refusing to give them space.

"Students of New York University, make way for them. Even in defeat, we should maintain our dignity! Don't let others say that New York University can't handle losing," Eric spoke up.

As soon as Eric finished speaking, the atmosphere around the field suddenly changed.

Some students began to clear the way.

"Ah, I thought Eric would stand up for our school, but it didn't happen."

Many of the onlookers seemed disappointed.

When they saw Eric entering the basketball court earlier, they thought he was going to stand up for New York University and confront the opposing group. However, that wasn't the case.

After the group of people left, the on looking students also dispersed at this time.

On the court, the members of the New York University basketball team remained.

"Eric, it's really infuriating today. Can we just let it go like this? I can't swallow this anger," Big Teddy gritted his teeth.

"Yes, Eric, you have to think of a solution."

The other basketball team members also spoke up, equally gritting their teeth and holding in their anger.

"Even if we don't let him go today and beat them up, if they post the video online saying we lost the game and resorted to violence because we couldn't handle losing, then our reputation will be completely ruined," Eric said and shook his head.

Eric wasn't an impulsive and reckless person. He understood the reasoning behind this.

"You're right, we understand," Big Teddy and the team members nodded.

"Although I let them go, it doesn't mean we're letting go of today's grudge," Eric's eyes narrowed as he spoke coldly.

"Eric, what are you planning to do?" Big Teddy asked with concern.

The other team members on the court also looked at Eric with concern.

They could only place their only hope on Eric.

Although these team members didn't know Eric's specific background, just by the fact that Eric could afford a Lamborghini, they could tell that Eric definitely had a very impressive background.

Eric looked at the basketball court and said slowly, "Since we lost in basketball, we naturally have to regain our ground on the basketball court. Tomorrow, we will go to their school and challenge them!"

"But Eric, Fred is too strong, we can't possibly beat him," Big Teddy worriedly said.

"Yeah! Even if we go to challenge them, we will still lose," the team members on the court also nodded.

"It's simple. If he's strong, then I'll find someone stronger than him," Eric casually said.

"Who are you going to find?" Big Teddy and everyone looked at Eric in confusion.

"NBA," Eric uttered three words.

"NBA?" Big Teddy and everyone else were shocked.
